Segnature N.31 - Vito Calabretta

Follando chimere e sacrilegio / flattening chimeras and sacrilege

Segnature is a small house for great artists.
Its form and function are the result of precise editorial choices by Paola Lenarduzzi. Her commitment is supported by a knowledgeable and respectful experience, by a rigorous method whose logic is simple: to offer the utmost expressive freedom to the featured artist, providing a framework within which to play and experiment. This takes place within a grid of essential factors such as format, usability, the visual appeal of the images, their harmonious juxtaposition, chromatic pairings in dialogue, the readability of the texts, and the completeness of the biographical and bibliographical apparatus.

These elements form its backbone, flowing from the assured gestures of a skilled and authoritative hand that knows how to guide Segnature’s guests, so that they feel at home, freely and playfully inhabiting the spaces of the precious booklet. The result is a product that is always different—exemplary, essential, experiential—where the gaze is nourished, and where a brief critical text in Italian and English guides and orients the reader’s reflections, offering tools to further explore or better understand the path of artistic research that, in Segnature, the author of the publication discovers each time—surprised and moved—together with Paola and, we are certain, with the reader.
